This auction is from the same collection of impeccable condition lp's I've been selling from, but we are now coming to the most collectible parts. In most cases, these are still among the finest copies imaginable. Each one will be graded individually, but many of them are just as pristine as the discs from the late 60's and early 70's.
   Artist: Gil Melle
Title: Patterns In Jazz
Label/Catalog #:  Blue Note BLP 1517
Mono/Stereo:  Mono
Details: First pressing with 767 Lexington labels, flat edge disc, frame front cover, deep groove, RVG, Ear. This has been cleaned on a Degritter ultrasonic cleaner.  


Record condition:   VG+.   Visually this has just a small amount of light marks and sleeve traces, well kept for its age. Play graded in full. This plays VG+ as well. The sound quality is great and the majority of the album plays clean. Some sporadic ticks are heard at times and occasionally a brief cyclical tick, never long or loud. Overall this makes a great play copy that will satisfy most listeners.

Cover: VG++. Fantastic condition. Front is bright white and shows nearly no wear. The seams are almost flawless, tiniest wear on lower corner only. The back has some creases but these appear to be from manufacturing. Back is nice and white, only a mild patina. Great set, difficult to find in this condition! 

Labels: See photos
